Any reasons why I should not run 21psi (or at least try) on a stock engine?
Those little auto tubs are going to be well out of their efficiency island at that pressure. and I highly doubt they will last any length of time either. You would be best talking to Noz about what pressure to go to, and getting them mapped for that, as extra boost without extra fuel can= blown engine

Trying to PM Gary Wilson... but I can't
I always meant to say that last time I subbed, I never got my kit :(

What are these wheels
yeah they are really nice wheels, in a decent size they would look good on a zed. Ask on driftworks, there are a lot of wheel whores over there !

What are these wheels
the only thing they would fit proper is a tractor ! look at the silly amount of camber they have dialled in just to get them to fit !

Hi there
Welcome along. I would be careful using aircraft wiring. It is high quality but after I asked a mate ( aircraft electrician) he warned me its not a good idea.

yup, just don't rev the engine and let it run for 15-20 mins and keep an eye on the temps etc :)

suggestion
I thought I was subbed :S I will sort that out shortly but if there is demand I don't mind setting up a GB, shouldn't cost more than 20 quid including materials

suggestion
ahhh gotcha, if there is a demand I can tig an extra pipe onto the auto ones for a small fee

engine restorer and lubricant
I did it with my old v8 soarer, after flushing the engine through 4 times I got all the shit outta the engine. After that the oil looked brand new 4 months later when I crashed it lol.

engine restorer and lubricant
if you want to do a flush, use a mixture of diesel and gearbox oil roughly 70/30. Guy called smiffie who runs the Soarer Sanctuary has been doing this to 1jzgte and 1uzfe engines for years and it really cleans the crud out of an engine and the oil is golden for ages afterward

engine restorer and lubricant
snake oil.

suggestion
can I ask what the difference between the two is ?

MOT day...

MOT day...

-
Registering an import with 0 paperwork
Actually that's not required, the car would not have been released without payment of VAT and duty.
-
Registering an import with 0 paperwork
probably watching that one on ebay without the docs. Unless your gonna break for parts or use as a track car your wasting your time

brakes who's got what and why on standard calipers
150 quid is for the complete shebang, calipers, discs and pads. The GTR stuff is preferable but harder to get a hold of

I went for R33 gtst brakes, can pick up good condition stuff for under 150 quid and they are larger by 20mm and lighter as they use a good quality alloy in those castings
